Law and Policy
Wisconsin’s Republican senator has approved lifetime positions for several nominees who were vigorously opposed by coalitions of civil rights groups.
The Fond du Lac County district attorney has charged five people with felonies for putting a wrong address on their voter registration. If elected, he could target voters statewide.
The Republican senator also told a local group he’s working on an amendment that could gut the law being proposed by Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin.
More than a dozen Republicans, many of whom previously worked for Trump, have testified thus far, painting a picture of a president willing to commit crimes to stay in office, regardless of the damage he might do to the country in the process.
Abortions remain legal in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota.
The governor and state attorney general argue the ban is too old and is also superseded by a 1985 law that would still permit abortion prior to viability.
“After today, young women will come of age with fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers had," wrote Justice Stephen Breyer.
